As soon as ! entered my room, I went straight to the bed, collapsing onto it and closing my eyes, too exhausted to even pull off my shoes or do anything
else.
“Miss, aren’t you going to change into your nightwear?” Serena asked as she reached for my foot and gently slipped off one shoe.
I didn’t even respond, just shook my head into the pillow and lifted my other leg as she moved to take off the next.
“You must’ve been really tired,” she murmured, and I nodded in response, causing her to chuckle softly.
She gently placed my legs back on the bed, then quietly pulled a blanket over me.
“You should sleep, my lady. Today has been really tough for you…” Her voice trailed off for a moment before she added under her breath, “You did really well, my lady.”
I knew what she meant.
Coming to this pack, where it was obvious the Lycan King despised me was hard enough. But leaving everyone behind hadn’t been easy either. Still, she was here with me, and I had to stay strong, for her, for my family, for my pack.
I gave a small nod without lifting my head from the pillow. As she turned off the lights and walked to the door, I stopped her.
“You too. You should get some sleep… You did well today, Serena. Don’t worry, we’ll go back to our pack soon, and everything will be okay,” I said.
Even though the room was pitch black, my vision allowed me to see the warm smile that spread across her face as she gave a small nod.
“Okay, miss.”
With that, she turned and quietly stepped out.
I watched her retreating figure until the door closed behind her, then shut my eyes and took a deep breath to steady my nerves.
I had no intention of staying here long. If I wanted to leave this pack, then I had to find out why Darius spared me and brought me here. I had to know what he wanted from me, do it and go.
But from what i’d seen so far… it didn’t seem like he intended to tell me anything.
As different thoughts swirled through my mind, I drifted off to sleep before I even realized it.
The next morning went smoother than I expected. Serena had come to wake me up, but this time, I’d already been awake a minute before she walked in -which honestly surprised her more than it should have.
Before I knew it, she had me ready for the day. I wore a blue dress with my hair pulled back into a ponytail. Simple and not too extravagant.
Now, we were walking downstairs, making our way to the dining table, ignoring the maids who paused what they were doing just
- er.
If you asked me, they were the ones being unethical here. Because if this was how they treated the king’s guests, outsiders or not, it reflected badly on
Darius.
In our pack, even if the maids didn’t like qutsiders, they’d still smile and remain respectful, especially to ranked wolves. But here, it seemed like respect
didn’t exist.

After dinner, everyone went to their rooms, and I was sure that if Cassian hadn’t been tired from the trip, he would’ve kept talking–thankfully, he was.
As soon as I entered my room, I went straight to the bed, collapsing onto it and closing my eyes, too exhausted to even pull off my shoes or do anything

“Look at her. She wore a white dress yesterday and angered the Lycan King. She’s already causing trouble on her first day,” one of the maids whispered- or tried to, since her voice was louder than it should’ve been.
“Right? But what did you expect from an outsider?” another chimed in, and a round of chuckles followed.
I kept walking, ignoring them, even though I could feel the rage radiating off Serena. I knew more than anything, she wanted to storm over and shut
them up.
“I heard she’s from the Emberfang Pack, the strongest after ours but still, clearly they don’t teach them any manners. Did you see the way they were gawking at the packhouse yesterday? Like poor people. I wonder how poor they are in their pack.”
As soon as those words left her mouth, I froze mid–step, my eyes narrowing and a deep frown tugging at my lips.
Serena immediately stopped walking before she could bump into me, and as the corner of my mouth slowly curved into a smirk, I knew I couldn’t let this
slide.
No, they could take jabs at me, I wouldn’t care. They were strangers, after all, and I wouldn’t waste energy on mere strangers.
But one thing I would never tolerate… was anyone insulting my pack.
My ancestors, my father, they had worked too hard to build the Emberfang Pack into what it was today. A mere omega had no right to speak about it that way, Lycan King’s oak or not.
“Miss… are you okay?” Serena asked softly.
I didn’t respond. I simply turned around and fixed my gaze on the three maids who had spoken.
As soon as I did, they fell silent, just like the rest of the staff who had been whispering around them.
They had also muttered things, but luckily for them, I hadn’t heard. These three had been the loudest.
And as they caught the glint in my eyes and the smirk curling at the edge of my lips, I watched them stiffen.
But a second later, one of the women lifted her chin, as she stared straight back at me, and this seemed to encourage the others to do the same.
She was the one who spoke, her voice laced with smugness, though I caught the slight tremble behind it.
“Do you need something? Why are you staring at us like that?”
“You–You!” Serena snapped suddenly, pointing at her with fire in her eyes. “How dare you speak that way! Lower your head immediately when speaking to the lady!‘
The maid scoffed at Serena’s words, and another rolled her eyes.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand, how are we speaking to your lady like that?” the third one added mockingly.
“And don’t forget, she might be your lady, but she’s not ours, so stop disturbing us. We have a lot of–”
Before she could finish, her eyes suddenly widened and she clutched her chest in pain. The other two turned to her in shock, only for the same sharp pain to hit them seconds later. All three of them collapsed to the ground at once, gasping, causing everyone to gasp in shock through the hallway, even
Serena froze.
As if on cue, the three women turned to look at me, their faces pale with fear.
“Did you-?” one of them stammered, eyes wide in disbelief.
I didn’t say a word. My expression remained calm, blank as I took a step forward.
With each step I took, they instinctively shrank back, trembling, the fear in their eyes deepening.

And then I let a slow, cold smile curve my lips.
I had released my aura and was going to teach these three girls a lesson.
